Condition Report: Laminate top bears assorted wear in the form of thin scratches, small impressions and few small areas of discoloration all in keeping with normal use. Inside walls of secretaries show minor wear from use as well. One outer wall shows a band of older adhesive residue near upper edge. Drawers and locking mechanisms all function properly in use. Few small veneer repairs near sabots, with one sabot showing an area of compression along lower edge. Overall good vintage condition with an honest appearance.
